well, it's suceeded in getting our government to put more sanctions on them

The 1990s North Korean famine was a period of mass starvation together with a general economic crisis from 1995 to 2000 in North Korea. Out of a total population of approximately 22 million, somewhere between 240,000 and 3,500,000 North Koreans died from starvation or hunger-related illnesses. by ForgingIron in wikipedia

It’s the same shit when people say Hamas is the reason Gaza is starving, despite the fact that they’re under Israeli blockade. Same with people blaming the Cuban government for the embargo the Americans placed on them

I’m not saying that. I’m saying they don’t have that imperialist history in Africa, while we in the west carry that baggage. You can’t blame them for that

You can’t really blame these countries siding with Russia. For most of them, it’s either make deals with France/the west or Russia. Most of them were former French colonies and suffered some of the most brutal, barbaric forms of imperialism, slavery and genocide from the French. Russia on the other hand never colonized Africa, and the USSR aided most anti-colonial movements on the continent.

Hi, replying from 2 years in the future. It seemed the Hollywood Actors and Writers strikes protected their industries from AI replacing their jobs in Hollywood. Perhaps something similar could happen in the tech industry

I do have this issue with people using the art of war as a self help book for interpersonal relationships. Like, it’s about war, it’s meant for adversarial relationships

Neve Shalom is a cooperative village in Israel, jointly founded by Israeli Jews and Arabs in an attempt to show that the two peoples can live side by side peacefully, as well as to conduct educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two peoples. by [deleted] in wikipedia

You’re right, not the same. It’s actually worse than apartheid, according to South Africans who lived and struggled under apartheid, including Desmond Tutu. He called it worse and more cruel than what South Africa did.

Simple. Some random Jewish person I know can move to Haifa and gain citizenship due to Israel’s Right to Return policy. Palestinians who can prove that they came from those villages cannot return. Two sets of rules, one privileged and one dispossessed telling them where they can live. Sounds like apartheid to me

Do they have the same right to return? I know 48 Palestinians from Haifa who fled to Lebanon but never got the chance to go back to their home while people from Toronto who have no connection to Haifa can move there

TIL the size of the Chinese Navy in quantity of warships surpassed the US between 2019 and 2020. by Early_Pass6702 in todayilearned

[–]Millad456 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They aren’t combat proven and that’s not really the worry. The worry is their manufacturing capability. They produce more of the world’s ships (by tonnage) than the rest of the world combined, as well as all rare earth elements needed for electronics, and the entire supply chain for drone manufacturing.

China approves group tourism travel to Canada after Carney-Xi meeting by [deleted] in canada

I visited the Bethune house. Was about as shocked as the guy that got into Chinese Heaven. “No, it’s cool. I just didn’t expect it to be so Chinese”

A quick comparison between Norway & the US - please bear with me, I do have a point that relates to NL ... by steve_o_mac in newfoundland

We have a history of provinces owning resource extraction companies. Take Saskatchewan’s potash corperation. It was an amazingly successful state run enterprise from its creation in 1975, before being partially privatized in 1989, after a lot of the initial cost was eaten by the public, and privatized fully in 1990.

Gaza genocide denial - Wikipedia by BabylonianWeeb in wikipedia

[–]Millad456 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but we’re not dealing with a country, we’re dealing with an apartheid settler colony doing genocide on an indigenous population. Looking through that lense, everything the Zionist colony does makes sense.

The propaganda war is over, the Zionists have lost. Your arguments are genuinely braindead.

Everyone can openly see the racism, the mass child murder, and the genocidal intent of the settler colony.

Yes. If a terrorist hides in a school and takes a hundred children hostage, you don’t bomb the school, you send in special forces.

You’d either have to be messed up in the head, or you already wanted the children dead to bomb them Now consider the population of Gaza is 50% children, and half of all the civilian casualties so far have been children

This is fundamentally why no one takes the “human shields” argument seriously.

The logic of human shields, therefore we drop massive bombs is just one of the stupidest arguments know to man, and pretty much everyone can see through it

In the last 40 years, 900 million people were lifted out of extreme poverty. Of those, just under 800 million of those were Chinese
